Does this have to be done all in Lilypond?  Because it would be trivial to
write your bits of text as comments with "%" and then extract them
into a separate file using an external utility like grep or perl.
Something like:

{
  c4 d e f |
% text 1
  g f e d |
% text 2
}

and then

grep '%' score.ly > score.txt

which would give

% text 1
% text 2

or, more elegantly because it separates out just the comment text,

perl -ne 'print "$1" if /%\s*(.*)/' score.ly > score.txt
